ELECTRIC MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322617 titled 'ELECTRIC MOTOR
The abstract describes an electric motor with a unique stator design to capture magnetic flux from the rotor main body.
- The electric motor includes a rotor main body supported by a rotary shaft and a stator.
- The stator consists of a stator core with a first end surface and a second end surface, along with a magnetic flux capture member on a core end surface.
- The magnetic flux capture member, made of magnetic material, captures magnetic flux from the rotor main body.
- The magnetic flux capture member features either a bent part protruding away from the rotor main body or a curved part with a concave surface facing inward in the radial direction of the stator.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Industrial machinery - Household appliances
Problems Solved: - Improved efficiency in electric motors - Enhanced magnetic flux capture
Benefits: - Increased motor performance - Energy savings - Longer lifespan of electric motors
Commercial Applications: Electric motor manufacturers can integrate this innovative stator design into their products to enhance performance and efficiency, catering to various industries like automotive, manufacturing, and consumer electronics.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique stator design improve the efficiency of electric motors? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in electric motor production?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electric motor includes: a rotor main body supported by a rotary shaft; and a stator. the stator includes: a stator core including a first end surface that is an end surface in an axial direction of the rotary shaft and a second end surface that is another end surface in the axial direction; and a magnetic flux capture member disposed on a core end surface that is at least one of the first end surface or the second end surface. the magnetic flux capture member is made of magnetic material to capture magnetic flux from the rotor main body. the magnetic flux capture member includes at least one of a bent part protruding in a direction away from the rotor main body or a curved part having a concave surface facing inward in a radial direction of the stator.
